Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises to house the new office. The lease submitted with the original petition was for a single-family residence, not a commercial space. On appeal, counsel attempted to submit a different lease, which the AAO deemed an improper material change to the petition and refused to consider.
